Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a 7" springform pan by placing parchment paper on the bottom of the pan and lightly spraying the sides with nonstick cooking spray.

To a food processor or high speed blender, add the ingredients for the crust. Process on high until the mixture becomes sticky and clumps together. Depending on the dates and how they absorbed the water, you may need to add water to the mixture to get it to the sticky consistency.

Transfer the crust to the pan. Pat it down into the bottom of the pan with your hands forming an even layer on the bottom of the pan.

Next add the ingredients for the filling to the food processor or blender. Process on high until creamy and smooth.

Transfer the mixture to the pan, spreading into an even layer over the crust.

Bake at 350 F 60-70 minutes. Oven times will vary especially with baking so check that you can remove a toothpick clean from the center prior to removing.

Cool the pie in the pan 2-3 hours prior to removing and slicing.

Serve immediately or keep refrigerated.
